Racing the storm |
| Description: |
During the entire weekend a low pressure system, that would eventually become a Tropical Storm, sent bands of rain over town. Here a GEVO, a CW60AC, and a sister GEVO race south through Folkston ahead of a storm. |

Accellerating...downhill... |
| Description: |
The long string of pigs really had a draw on the engines. Once the lead engine cleared the Martin St. crossing, he had the engines growling and churning in typical GE style, even on a down hill grade. |

Can't be afraid of heights |
| Description: |
Coming from a town where we see a local freight once a day, consisting of mostly gravel hoppers and tanks, standing near double-stacks moving at 60+ mph can be a little intimidating! |

Ok, ok, I know, it's not really and SD45 on the inside. I'll still take it! CEFX 2785, an ex-UP (obviously) SD45 rolls across Main Street between showers. |

Amazing when you can get a train carrying the same product. Or at least enough of the same kind of trailer in a row to make a picture appear that way. Just dumb luck that a bunch of Crowley trailers were spread out in a row. |

The Rocket gets underway |
| Description: |
CSX A772, the Fernandina Rocket slowly accelerates her way to Waycross. What's always interesting about A772 and her southbound counterpart, is that you can always find something unique in the locomotive lashups. Today, an ex Norfolk Southern (nee-Conrail) B40-8, still in her NS paint, lends a helping hand. Again, another storm is on its way. |

The Silver Meteor |
| Description: |
A surprisingly on time P098 makes its appearance. Both tracks are now set up as Northbound, thanks to 98's stop in Jesup, GA. Once 98 crosses over from 2 to 1 just north of town, track 1 will again revert to a Southbound line. |

Speeding |
| Description: |
Are you sure that's only 40 mph guys? CSX 8030 screams by with a power bounce, followed by a long string of wood chippers. He must have been in an awful hurry to get to Waycross. It was hard to focus the camera on him. |

Apparently, CSX observes Labor Day as well. A full 2 hours after the Meteor crawled through, a Northbound mixed crosses Martin St. I waited another hour, and nothing else came through. Even the radio was silent. So I decided it was time to head for home. |
